Finnish
Power smashes Slovakian Bravery
Finland Multiplayer Hockey World
Champion by 10:1-Win against Slovakia
Helsinki,
2008-12-27
The
final game of the 3 League Kiekko Multiplayer Hockey World
Championships became a showdown of Finnish power and skills, that
disturbed soon all might be secretely beared hopes of the Slovakian
opponents.
The brave and self confident - as it shaped up after: maybe too
confident - Slovakians risked the field battle face to face. This
honoured them, but they had
to pay for it bitterly. Again and again they went in the open knife,
better said in the open sable of the as swift as an arrow biting
Finnish attackers and their killing shots from the flanks.
That
way the final was a good example for to have a look at the art of
playing kiekko (finnish for hockey), but it was disappointing regarding
the tension about the uncertainity of the result, concerning
that also the dominant Finnish team could be brought in a hassle with
more defensiv -
some may call it destructiv ;) - tactics, as other teams like the
Czech, the Latvian and some periods also the Germans had shown better
in the
course of the World Championships.
Nevertheless Finnland is no
doubt the true champion, and the Slovaks
had earned their chance by proving their good skills in the matches
before.
But why
the hell did they not try more tactical to seize
this opportunity ?
